EUROPEAN COMMISSION Thierry Breton Member of the Commission To the attention of MEPs: Tiziana BEGHIN, MEP NI; Fabio Massimo CASTALDO, MEP NI; Mario FURORE, MEP NI; Chiara Maria GEMMA, MEP NI; Sabrina PIGNEDOLI, MEP NI; Maria CARVALHO, MEP EPP; Stelios KYMPOUROPOULOS, MEP EPP; Massimiliano SALINI, MEP EPP; Attila ARA-KOVACS, MEP S&D; Brando BENIFEI, MEP S&D; Nicolas GONZALES CASARES, MEP S&D; Carlo FIDANZA, MEP ECR; Emmanouil FRAGKOS, MEP ECR; François ALFONSI, MEP Greens BrusselsD . 1 0. 07.2020 grow.dgdir(2020)3477455 Dear Members of Parliament, Many thanks for your letter of 28 April concerning nautical products in the Single Market during COVID-19 and for informing me about the restrictions imposed by several Member States on the delivery of new recreational boats to final customers. National restrictions, temporary internal border controls and non-essential travel restrictions during the COVID-19 crisis have severely affected the functioning of the Single Market for goods and services. The Commission is working hand in hand with Member States to limit the impacts and to restore the functioning of the Single Market as soon as feasible. At the behest of the Commission, many Member States have lifted national restrictions on exports of key products to fight the pandemic, such as personal protective equipment, masks, ventilators and medicines. Following the Commission’s Guidelines on Border Management mentioned in your letter, and its Communication on the implementation of the Green Lanes, Member States have designated all the relevant internal border-crossing points on the trans-European transport network (TEN-T) as ‘green lane' border crossings where all checks should not take more than 15 minutes. This has considerably improved the free movement of freight across the EU during the pandemic. Commission européenne/Europese Commissie, 1049 Bruxelles/Brussel, BELGIQUE/BELGiË - Tel. +32 22991111 Office: BERL 10/222 - Tel. direct line +32 229-90200 Thierry. [email protected] Despite these concerted efforts, potentially unjustified and unnecessary restrictions in some countries may still remain. I am therefore grateful that you draw my attention to the situation in the nautical sector. In order to enable my services to liaise with the national authorities concerned and take further measures as appropriate, I would invite you to inform them to which Member States and national measures you are referring in your letter (contact: Michael König, [email protected], GROW E.4). Yours faithfully, 2.

Choose Europe! Join for the Opening of the New European Parliament!
CHOOSE EUROPE! JOIN FOR THE OPENING OF THE NEW EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT! 1st of July 2019 | Strasbourg, France Citizens’ Agora European Youth Centre Strasbourg 30, rue Pierre de Coubertin, 67000 A new Parliament for a new Europe European Parliamentary Association 76 Allée de la Robertsau, 67000 2nd of July 2019 | Strasbourg, France Rally In front of the European Parliament 1 Avenue du Président Robert Schuman INTRODUCTION We have a newly elected Europe Parliament. It should become the front-runner in promoting a new Europe. Join us in Strasbourg for the opening session on 1-2 July to voice our demands for a more democratic, more social, more federal - a sovereign Europe! We are organising a 2 days bus trip from Brussels. The European Union has been “at a critical junction” for far too long. Radical reforms of the Euro, unity on security and defence, European democracy are urgently needed. Meanwhile Brexit looms, nationalism is on the rise, and citizens are puzzled on what Europe brings and where it is heading to. The next term of the European Parliament will be crucial to put Europe on a new course. The history of the European Union is one of citizens gathering and calling on elected leaders for more decisive steps towards political unity for the European people. Join us in Strasbourg to show that citizens support a federal Europe and engage with federalist members of the European Parliament on how to promote federalist goals in the newly elected Parliament. EU national leaders have failed us. European integration by intergovernmental cooperation has the EU stuck in a status quo that could well be its downfall.

Lettera Sassoli Chiusura Parlamento IT.Pages
8 marzo 2020 Caro Presidente Sassoli, Ti scriviamo per esprimere la nostra profonda preoccupazione per la diffusione della malattia infettiva causata dal coronavirus COVID-19 in Europa e per richiedere ulte- riori misure di sicurezza per salvaguardare i Membri del Parlamento europeo, il per- sonale e la popolazione locale. Come ben sai, il livello di emergenza legato alla diffusione di questo virus è note- volmente aumentato nel corso delle ultime ore: il numero di casi confermati si sta moltiplicando in molti Stati membri, compreso il Belgio, e sono state confermate nuove aree di contagio. Misure di sicurezza straordinarie sono state adottate dalle autorità pubbliche di tutta Europa e intere aree sono state messe in quarantena. Il numero di casi confermati è in costante aumento in Belgio e a Bruxelles e questa settimana abbiamo riscontrato i primi casi di nuovi coronavirus nelle istituzioni del- l'UE. Sebbene apprezziamo che siano già state adottate misure straordinarie per far fron- te a questa emergenza, riteniamo che la situazione in rapida evoluzione e i maggiori rischi per la salute richiedano ulteriori misure di sicurezza come l'immediata interru- zione di tutti i lavori parlamentari, compresa la prossima sessione plenaria, come misura precauzionale. Il Parlamento europeo, con oltre 5000 persone che vi lavorano e viaggiano regolar- mente tra la loro città natale e Bruxelles, ha il potenziale per diventare un focolaio di trasmissione del coronavirus. Con la presente ti chiediamo di sospendere tutte le attività parlamentari con effetto immediato, fino a quando i rischi per la salute legati alla diffusione del virus saranno sotto controllo.

To the President of the European Commission Mrs. Ursula Von Der Leyen, Rue De La Loi / Wetstraat 200 1049 Brussels
To the President of the European Commission Mrs. Ursula von der Leyen, Rue de la Loi / Wetstraat 200 1049 Brussels To the Executive Vice-President of the European Commission Mr. Vladis Dombrovskis Rue de la Loi / Wetstraat 200 1049 Brussels Brussels, 22 October 2020, Subject: the EU must impose an import ban on Chinese companies using forced labour Dear President von der Leyen, Dear Vice-President Dombrovskis, For years, the Chinese regime has been detaining millions of human beings in camps, just because they were born Uyghurs. For years, Europe and the world have been witnessing a crime against humanity without opposing any resistance to it. In recent months, several studies have reported the use of Uyghur forced labour for the benefit of major European companies. Indeed, many Chinese factories, directly supplying EU brands exploit the Uyghurs and benefit from their forced labour. Facing this abjection, Europe must act to protect the lives and fundamental rights of Uyghurs. The EU should use its trade and market power to safeguards the founding principles enrichened in our Treaties and guiding our external policies. As the US did lately through an imports ban passed almost unanimously in the US House of Representatives, Europe urgently needs to establish a blacklist of Chinese companies implicated in Uyghur forced labour. We look forward to your response. Yours sincerely, 1. Raphaël Glucksmann, S&D 2. Dietmar Köster, S&D 3. Francisco Guerreiro, Greens 4. Sylvie Guillaume, S&D 5. Aurore Lalucq, S&D 6.

Lo Scorso Giugno L'organizzazione Internazionale Wikileaks Ha Pubblicato Una Presunta Bozza Dell'accordo Commerciale Sugli Scambi Di Servizi (Tisa)
Lo scorso giugno l'organizzazione internazionale WikiLeaks ha pubblicato una presunta bozza dell'Accordo commerciale sugli scambi di servizi (TiSA). Tali rivelazioni, che denotano importanti conseguenze in merito alla privatizzazione di servizi fondamentali, come banche, sanità e istruzione, vanno ad aggiungersi alle analisi previste dai negoziati in atto, quali la disamina dei principi comuni per la regolamentazione dei servizi finanziari e la valutazione dei potenziali vantaggi per crescita e occupazione. L'UE ha inoltre pubblicato recentemente un concept paper che indica una struttura dell'accordo basata su un approccio modulare simile a quello utilizzato per il ciclo negoziale di Doha. Per giunta l'accordo, oltre ad essere delineato con marginale trasparenza, potrebbe, secondo le disposizioni, non essere rivelato per i cinque anni successivi alla sua approvazione. A tal proposito, può la Commissione indicare: — come il TiSA determinerà le politiche economiche dei maggiori paesi a capitalismo avanzato e se i parlamenti degli Stati interessati verranno coinvolti; — quali benefici concreti potranno avverarsi per crescita e occupazione, e come il disciplinamento delle attività finanziarie e dei servizi summenzionati verrà alterato; — se ritiene che l'approccio strutturale indicato possa portare a un risultato fallimentare come accaduto per il Doha Round e se, in omaggio alla trasparenza, prevede una consultazione pubblica relativamente ai dieci cicli di negoziati che avranno luogo quest'autunno? Marco Valli (EFDD) , Tiziana Beghin (EFDD) , David Borrelli (EFDD) , Fabio Massimo Castaldo (EFDD) , Ignazio Corrao (EFDD) , Laura Ferrara (EFDD) , Dario Tamburrano (EFDD) , Marco Zanni (EFDD) Secondo quanto riferito di recente da diversi comunicati stampa, la Commissione potrebbe approvare il piano di aiuti di Stato del Regno Unito a favore della centrale nucleare «Hinkley Point C».

Castaldo-Lupo (M5S): "Su Alitalia Commissione Ue Rischia Di Ledere Interessi Consumatori E Lavoratori"
Politica - Castaldo-Lupo (M5S): "Su Alitalia Commissione Ue rischia di ledere interessi consumatori e lavoratori" Roma - 06 apr 2021 (Prima Pagina News) "Servono buon senso e imparzialità". "Sulla vicenda Alitalia la Commissione europea sta peccando di superficialità. Con la sua politica da due pesi e due misure rispetto ai diretti concorrenti della compagnia di bandiera italiana, rischia di ledere gli interessi dei consumatori italiani e di migliaia di lavoratori. Questo è inaccettabile, servono buon senso e imparzialità". Lo scrivono, in una nota, il Parlamentare europeo e Vicepresidente dell'Europarlamento Fabio Massimo Castaldo e la Senatrice Giulia Lupo, eletti in quota M5S. "Insieme agli europarlamentari Isabella Adinolfi, Mario Furore, Dino Giarrusso e Daniela Rondinelli depositiamo oggi due interrogazioni alla Commissione europea affinché chiarisca la natura delle sue decisioni", continuano. "Non è chiaro infatti quale normativa comunitaria sta utilizzando per giustificare la sua richiesta di discontinuità per Ita rispetto ad Alitalia e se questa discontinuità possa arrivare fino a definire elementi essenziali quali il perimetro aziendale e la grandezza della flotta. Inoltre - scrive ancora Castaldo - va chiarito come mai agli altri Paesi europei sia stato concesso di apportare un aumento di capitale da parte dell’investitore pubblico, mentre all’Italia si chiede di realizzare un’operazione alle normali condizioni di mercato. Questo comporta una discriminazione, tanto più che è di dubbia certezza giuridica la decisione di impedire all’Italia di mantenere gli slot su Linate che, nell’intenzione della Vicepresidente Vestager, andrebbero ceduti ad altri vettori".

Ms Mairead Mcguinness European Commissioner for Financial Services, Financial Stability and the Capital Markets Union Mr
TO: Ms Mairead McGuinness European Commissioner for Financial Services, Financial Stability and the Capital Markets Union Mr Valdis Dombrovskis European Commission Executive Vice-President for An Economy that Works for People CC: Mr Frans Timmermans European Commission Executive Vice-President for the European Green Deal Ms Kadri Simson European Commissioner for Energy Brussels, 13 April 2021 Dear Executive Vice-President Dombrovskis, Dear Commissioner McGuinness, We are convinced that the Taxonomy Regulation is crucial for the European Union to achieve both the new greenhouse gas emissions reduction target for 2030 and climate neutrality by 2050. Additionally, the Regulation should help strengthening the European Union’s strategic resilience and global economic competitiveness, maintaining its energy security and affordability, boosting growth and job creation and supporting a just and inclusive energy transition that leaves nobody behind. However, to what extent the Taxonomy Regulation will ultimately meet these expectations depends primarily on the technical screening criteria (TSC) defined in the Delegated Act on climate change mitigation and adaptation. We understand the European Commission will publish it later this month, whereupon the European Parliament may make full use of its scrutinizing prerogatives under Article 290 TFEU. In advance of its publication, we would like to share with you some of our major concerns regarding the revised draft version of this delegated act. Firstly, it is indispensable that the Taxonomy Regulation takes into account transition at the energy system level and supports the most cost-efficient decarbonisation pathway for each Member State in line with the principle of technology neutrality. In this context, it is key to acknowledge the role of gaseous fuels.

Question for Written Answer
Question for written answer E-007024/2020 to the Commission Rule 138 Nicola Procaccini (ECR), Raffaele Fitto (ECR), Carlo Fidanza (ECR), Raffaele Stancanelli (ECR), Pietro Fiocchi (ECR), Sergio Berlato (ECR) Subject: WHO report on the management of the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy According to reconstructions by authoritative media sources, on 13 May 2020 a team of researchers from the World Health Organisation (WHO) published a report with the aim of warning countries not yet affected by the COVID-19 epidemic about possible mistakes in managing the emergency, based on the experience acquired by Italy, the first European country to be stricken by the virus. According to those same sources, that document was immediately withdrawn at the request of the organisation's Assistant-Director General. The main point of the report in question was the failure to implement Italy’s pandemic plan. The fact that this plan was supposed to have been updated on the initiative of the current WHO Assistant- Director General, under his previous role as director of the Italian Ministry of Health, suggests there may be a possible conflict of interest. This situation is being exacerbated by the probable involvement of the current Italian Minister for Health, who is said to feel 'bitter’ about the content of a report 'that would have put the country's government in a bad light'. Given that the publication of the WHO document, which was subsequently withdrawn, would have helped to save lives, not least in EU Member States, does the Commission intend to consult the WHO and the Italian Government with a view to clarifying this matter?
